and should not be used to collect blood from more than one
person as this poses a risk of transmitting blood-borne pathogens
such as Hepatitis B or HIV.
For further information, please refer to:
“FDA Public Health Notification: Use of Fingerstick Devices on More
than One Person Poses Risk for Transmitting Blood-borne Pathogens:
Initial Communication” (2010) http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/
Safety/AlertsandNotices/ucm224025.htm
“CDC Clinical Reminder: Use of Fingerstick Devices on More than One
Person Poses Risk for Transmitting Blood-borne Pathogens” (2010)
http://cdc.gov/injectionsafety/Fingerstick-DevicesBGM.html
Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low
results. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration consult
a healthcare professional immediately.
Under normal blood concentrations and conditions, the following
should not significantly affect results:
• Elevated blood triglycerides
• Reducing substances such as uric acid and ascorbic acid
• Acetaminophen
• Dopa
• Methyldopa

Alternate Site Testing (AST)
There are important limitations to Alternate Site Testing (AST).
Please consult your healthcare professional before performing AST.
What is AST?
Alternate Site Testing (AST) means you can use parts of the body other
than your fingertips to check your blood glucose levels. Prodigy® meters
allow you to test on your palm, forearm, upper arm, calf or thigh.
See Figure 1.
What is the Advantage?
Fingertips feel pain more readily because they are full of nerve endings
(receptors). At other body sites, nerve
endings are not so numerous and you
will not feel as much pain as you will
experience at the fingertip.
When to use AST?
Use AST only:
v Two hours or more after your last meal.
v Two hours or more after taking insulin.
v Two hours or more after exercise.
v During a relaxed and calm state.
Do not use AST if:
v You have reason to believe you have hypoglycemia
or hyperglycemia.
v Your routine glucose results are often fluctuating.
v You are pregnant.
*To increase accuracy when using AST, rub the puncture site before
extracting blood.
Food, medication, illness, stress and
exercise can affect blood glucose levels.
Capillary blood at the fingertip reflects
these changes faster than capillary
blood at other sites. Therefore, if you
are testing your blood glucose level
during or immediately after a meal,
physical exercise or stressful event,
take the blood sample from your
fingertip only.

About Prodigy® Test Strips
Key Functions of the Test Strip
All Prodigy® meters measure the amount of sugar in the blood,
commonly referred to as blood glucose. Blood is applied to
the opening of the absorbent channel of the test strip and is
automatically drawn into the test strip.
Important Test Strip Information
• Store test strip packages in a cool, dry place between
39.2°F–104°F (4°C–40°C). Keep away from direct sunlight
and heat. Do not refrigerate.
The test strip consists of the following parts:
• Store your test strips in their original vial only. Do not transfer them to a new vial or any other container.
Absorbent Channel
Apply a drop of blood and it will be
drawn in automatically.
• With clean, dry hands you may touch the test strip anywhere on
its surface when removing it from the vial or inserting it into the
meter.
• Do not clean the testing site with alcohol.
Confirmation Window
Shows whether enough blood has been drawn into
the test strip’s absorbent channel.
• Immediately use a test strip after removing it from the vial,
replace the vial cap and close it tightly.
• Only apply a blood sample or a control solution sample to the test strip’s absorbent channel. Applying other substances to the
test strip’s absorbent channel will cause inaccurate results.
Test Strip Handle
Hold this part to insert the test strip into the
test strip port on the meter.
Contact Bars
Insert this end of the test strip into the meter.
Push it in firmly until it will not go any further.
• Record the discard date on the vial label when you first open it. Discard remaining test strips 90 days after the first opening date.
• Do not use test strips beyond the expiration date printed on
the package.

Control Solution Testing
About Prodigy® Control Solution
Prodigy® control solution is a red liquid containing glucose that
will react with test strips and produce a test result. Prodigy® meters can
use high or low control solution.
v First, check your contents to see if you have a high or low
control solution kit.
v Then, after completing a control solution test, compare test results with the correct range (high or low) located on the back of the test strip vial.
Why Perform a Control Solution Test?
• To ensure that your meter and test strips are working properly
together.
• To allow you to practice testing without using your own blood.
It is recommended to do a control solution test:
• Once a week (to ensure that you continue to have accurate
test results).
• When you begin using a new vial of test strips.
• When test strips are exposed to extreme environmental
conditions.
• If you drop the meter.
• When you change the battery.
Prodigy Diabetes Care, LLC www.prodigymeter.com
12
Important Control Solution Test Information
• Use only Prodigy® control solutions with Prodigy® meters.
• Check the expiration date on the control solution bottle.
Do not use if expired.
• Control solution, meter and test strips should be at
room temperature (68–77°F/20–25°C) before testing.
• Use within a period of 90 days from the date that you first
open the control solution. Record the discard date on the control
solution bottle and discard after 90 days.
• Store the control solution tightly closed at temperatures below 86°F (30°C). Do not refrigerate.
Important: The control solution ranges are located on the back
of the Prodigy® test strip vial. They are not recommended target
ranges for your blood glucose level.

If the result is not within the printed
Figure 6
range, the meter and/or test strips may
not be working properly. Repeat the control solution test.
Contact Customer Care
If your test strips have been damaged or if you continue to get out-ofrange results, it means that the system or the control solution may not
be working properly. DO NOT use the system to test your blood glucose
level. If you are unable to resolve the problem, contact Customer Care
at 1.800.243.2636.
Out of range results may occur due to:
• damaged or expired test strips
• contaminated or expired control solution
• a meter malfunction
• not following the directions
If test results continue to fall outside the range printed on the test
strip vial, check “Troubleshooting Guide” located in the “System
Troubleshooting” section.
Expiration or Damage
Prodigy® No Coding Test Strips and Control Solutions have expiration
dates printed on their labels. When one of these is first opened, you
must record the discard date (date opened plus three (3) months) in
the space provided.

Blood glucose is measured by an electric current that is produced
when a blood sample mixes with the reagent (special chemicals) of the
test strip. The electrical current changes with the amount of glucose
in the blood sample. Prodigy® meters measure the strength of the
electrical current, calculates your blood glucose level and then displays
your result in either mg/dL or mmol/L.
Important: Use only Prodigy® control solutions and test strips with
your Prodigy® meter. Using other test strips and control solutions
with this meter can produce inaccurate results.
*Always use caution when removing the
lancet. Discard the lancet according to
your local safety regulations.
Warning: The first drop of blood usually
contains tissue fluid and serum, which
may affect the test result. It should be
discarded.

Performing a Blood Glucose Test
Tips for Applying Blood to Test Strips without Sight
Using the following five (5) tips may help you place a blood sample
into the test strip successfully if you have little or no vision.
The examples describe two (2) ways to bring the sample and the
test strip together. Other techniques may work just as well.
Keep experimenting until you have a technique that consistently works
for you.
Tip One­­—Smaller has its Advantages
Because the Prodigy Voice™ meter is so easy to move around, you can
experiment with many different approaches to determine which works
best for you. Get comfortable holding the meter in one hand while
testing. The meter can be moved towards your finger as easily as your
finger can be moved to the test strip.
Tip Two­­— Aim for the Tip
The tip of the test strip contains an opening to the absorbent channel
in the center where the blood should be applied. The absorbent
channel draws the blood into the test strip, much like a straw, when the
tip touches the blood sample. Blood should be applied only on the very
tip. Blood applied to the bottom or sides of the test strip may cause
inaccurate readings. It is important that the test strip does not bend at
all when applying the sample.
Tip Three­­— Using a Sideways Approach
When testing, it may be helpful to rest or hold the meter on one side
rather than flat or face up. In this position, the test strip sticks out of
one end and the side with the buttons faces towards you.
The idea here is that the finger can be brought to the test strip from
below until it touches the tip of the test strip. Then, the meter can be
Prodigy Diabetes Care, LLC www.prodigymeter.com
60
repositioned so the sample touches the absorbent opening at the end
of the test strip. Notice how the meter can be positioned
so that the test strip can be sticking out to the left or to the right.
This allows for either hand to be used for testing.
Tip Four­­— Example 1
• Step 1—Place the meter on one side in front of you on a table with
the test strip pointing to the left.
• Step 2—Gently squeeze a finger on the left hand and obtain
a sample.
• Step 3—Bring your finger toward the tip of the test strip from the
bottom. Place the puncture site on your finger to the tip of the
test strip.
• Step 4—If you do not make contact with the blood and the meter
does not begin the test, while keeping the finger in contact with
the test strip, lift the rounded end of the meter from the table so
the round end of the test strip is flush with the sample.
• Step 5—Move the test strip slightly, if necessary, until you hear
the meter beep then say “now testing.” Hold the meter
in place until you hear the test result. This procedure can be
used with either hand by starting with the meter resting on the
other side.
Tip Four­­— Example 2
• Step 1—Gently squeeze the finger to bring blood to the finger.
• Step 2—Puncture the finger.
• Step 3—Hold the meter in your hand. Place your index finger
under the test strip to help you guide the meter to where you
have poked.

• Step 4—Using overlapping dragging motions in an upward
direction, repeat the motion around the puncture sight until you
hear the meter beep then say, “now testing.”
• Step 5—Hold the test strip in place until you hear the meter say
your test results.
Tip Five­­— Practice, Practice, Practice
As with all new skills, practicing is the key to feeling comfortable
performing this new skill with confidence and ease. Don’t give up;
remember to practice, practice, practice. We suggest using Prodigy®
control solution when practicing.
Practice until, with relative ease, you can get a test result that
falls within the target range for the Prodigy® control solution three (3)
tests in a row. It can be helpful to have someone with sight to watch
you practice in order to provide feedback or to answer any questions
you may have.

The test results you obtain from your meter may differ somewhat from
your laboratory results due to normal variation. Meter results can be
affected by factors and conditions that do not affect laboratory results
in the same way (see test strip package insert for typical accuracy
and precision data as well as important information on limitations).
To make an accurate comparison between meter and laboratory
results, follow the guidelines below.
Before you go to the laboratory:
• Perform a control solution test to make sure that the meter is working properly.
• It is strongly recommended to fast for at least eight (8) hours before doing comparison tests.
• Take your meter with you to the laboratory.
While at the laboratory:
• Make sure that the samples for both tests (the meter test and the
laboratory test) are taken and tested within 15 minutes of each
other.
• Wash your hands before obtaining a blood sample.
• Never use your meter with blood that has been collected in a gray
top test tube.
• Use fresh capillary blood only.
You may still have a variation from the result because blood
glucose levels can change significantly over short periods,
especially if you have recently eaten, exercised, taken medication or
experienced stress.1 In addition, if you have eaten recently, the blood
glucose level from a finger stick can be up to 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L)

higher than blood drawn from a vein (venous sample) used for a lab
test.2
Therefore, it is best to fast for eight (8) hours before doing
comparison tests. Factors such as the amount of red blood
cells in the blood (a high or low hematocrit) or the loss of bodily
fluids (severe dehydration) may also cause a meter result to be
different from a laboratory result.

If your test result is lower than 70 mg/dL or “Lo”
appears on your meter screen, this could be a result
of hypoglycemia. Although this result could be due to
a testing error, it is best to treat first and retest later.
Contact your healthcare professional immediately.

Accuracy of Meter Measurements
FAQ: Can two (2) blood glucose meters produce different readings
that are from the same blood sample? Does this make one reading
more accurate than the other?
Figure 99
High Blood Glucose Test Results
If your test result is higher than 180 mg/dL, this could be a result of
hyperglycemia. If you are uncertain about this test result, retest. If the
result continues to be higher than 180 mg/dL, contact your healthcare
professional immediately.
If “Hi” appears on your meter screen, this could be a result
of severe hyperglycemia (results higher than 600 mg/dL).
Retest your blood glucose. If “Hi” appears again, contact
your healthcare professional immediately. See Figure 100.
Figure 100
Repeated Unexpected Test Results
If you continue to get unexpected test results, check your
blood glucose monitoring system by performing a control solution test.
Refer to “Performing a Control Solution Test” section in this manaul.
Unusual Red Blood Cell Count
A hematocrit range (percentage of red blood cells in the blood) that is
extremely high (above 55%) or low (below 30%) can also cause false
readings.
Answer: Yes, different meters can produce different readings using
the same blood sample.
No, this does not necessarily mean that one result is more
accurate than the other.
The reasons for this are as follows:
1.The FDA recognized standard for glucose meter accuracy is
ISO 15197: In Vitro Diagnostic Test Systems—Requirements
for Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems for Self Testing
in Managing Diabetes Mellitus. This standard sets accuracy
requirements that manufacturers must meet before being
approved by the FDA to market their glucose meters.
2.The accuracy requirements for the blood glucose monitoring
system—meters and test strips—as stated in ISO 15197
is this:
Ninety-five percent (95%) of the individual glucose results
shall fall within ±15 mg/dL (0.83 mmol/L) of the results
of the manufacturer’s measurement procedure at glucose
concentrations < 75 mg/dL (<4.2 mmol/L) and within ± 20% at
glucose concentrations ≥ 75 mg/dL ( ≥ 4.2 mmol/L).
How does this answer the FAQ?
The accuracy of the system is determined by a clinical study using
100 blood samples at interval glucose concentrations ranging from
